This should work. Could you check whether 'evrradv: Adding interface XXX'
log message is logged if you enable debug messages for evrradv?

Also what you mean by 'add another interface'? The interface is created,
or just bringed up?

If the interface is also created, could you try to wait several seconds
between the interface creation and activation?

Are there any error messages in log?

Reload is only for route export/import, not relevant to radv.
